With her daughter asleep in her arms, Fumiko Hayashida waits to board a ferry from Bainbridge Island on March 30, 1942. The pair were being deported to an internment camp for Japanese-Americans in Manzanar, Calif. This image, taken by a P-I photographer, has been published around the world and since 1976 the negative has been preserved at the Museum of History and Industry. Years ago, staff there helped identify Hayashida by enlarging the photo and reading the tags she and her daughter wore.
